92. The public was not ready to see them go. Right Wing Businesses, and if you had actually

followed the facts about them 'going' you would know this, were the ones talking to the press. Crime was down in Oakland while the occupiers were there and the public did not want them to go. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you need to find some credible sources on the facts about OWS. All of your comments reflect the propaganda from the right. They flooded newspaper comment sections with false information eg, and of course Faux et al hated this movement from the beginning and repeatedly, despite polls to the contrary, tried to claim the public was against them in Zuccotti Sq.

One contractor's proposal was leaked. Contractors do not bid on non-existent contracts so it's clear the message went out to their right wing PR Firms that Wall St needed to stop this movement. The proposals come AFTER a contract is offered.

And the same talking points proposed in the leaked memo were more than recognizable, and still are, indicating that someone else got the contract.

Wall St. definitely viewed OWS as a threat and to deny that is simply ridiculous. If they were no threat they would never have been attacked so brutally with the blessing of the corporate puppets in elected office in so many cities. There would be no movement if the original goal of remaining for, at the most, two weeks and then going home, had been allowed to happen.

Instead right from the start, and we know that the FBI had been monitoring the plans for these protests for months before they began, the crackdown began the very first day. THAT was what changed the plans of OWS, the support they received from all over the world when the brutal crackdowns were filmed by protesters and the world got to see them.
